To all those who are seeking rumours/info from within the club, probably best not to mock those that are providing such info. You really don't make this thread easy!
People on this thread: 'Where are the RUMOURS? I don't want to read 18 pages about Eoghan O'Connell's cat! Where did all the ITK people go?'
Also people on this thread: 'Fuck you rumour guy, your info is slightly different to what someone else said! I'll kill you!'
😂 fuck me no wonder I mostly just read this forum and don’t post a lot. . . In all seriousness I’ve had a number of decent chats over the last 12 months with Martin Sandgaard and he was who told me last night after the game. He was quite open with the information. I made a point of saying the fan base thought it was the other way round saying the defender was a done deal and striker/forward was a bit further off. . . .
He was actually telling a few other fans the same thing and is really approachable about our transfer dealings. Just posting what I was told as from the way it was put across to me he wanted the fans to know what was happening.
i made a point of saying can you not leave any announcement until 11pm so we can all get some sleep as to which he said no it will be earlier in the day!
if some1 bids 2m for Clare then we might be in trouble!
No upside in posting what you hear, unfortunately
You are wrong: Jbaker have won respect on CL by saying that he heard Martin Sandgaard talking out loud to fans. No smoke and mirrors, just saying what he heard.
👏to Jbaker as others have confirmed the information did indeed come from the horse's mouth.
Here we go for transfer deadline day, or as it's known at Charlton, Thursday.
Seriously though, I fully expect at least one new signing. As for exits, I'd be happy if all three of those identified as surplus to requirements leave. In fact, if serious money is offered, I'd be happy for any of our number to leave, with one exception. I saw enough in the Cambridge game to conclude that George Dobson is too important to us to lose.
If JFC remains, I'd like to see him given a run as LB.

I do recall an interesting debate about Schrodinger's cat on another thread, but this one eluded me. Could you reference the page numbers involved 😎
Of course the best transfer deadline day news would be . It’s completed Roland transfers The Valley and Sparrows Lane over to Sandgaard for 500,000 pounds.
Wouldn't be surprised if JFC is released if we don't sell him today. Makes sense to hold on to him whilst a fee is possible, but if contract clauses make him essentially unavailable for league games the can't see why we'd hold on to him once the change of a fee has gone.
Can I just say (and btw I put myself in the camp I am about to refer to from time to time sometimes too, so not digging anybody out personally) that we really should stop moaning and embrace rumours on a rumours page a bit more positively and for what they are.
As for source info, when Duchatelet told us nothing, we moaned we wanted to hear more, when the Sandgaards share more openly, moaning that their sharing is unprofessional/crossing the line etc. Just leaves my head spinning and those sharing I suspect questioning why bother sharing? I certainly am. I enjoy hearing some insight into the goings on at the club having invested 35 years of my life supporting it and applaud those owning it for being more up front than most before. I am quite happy just talking with my lad about it as we are as potty mad about Charlton as one another, but if others are positively interested perhaps think twice about putting posters/sources of info off…by being critical. Those sources do read this site (not every post every day), but they are interested in the fan’s thoughts, feedback, views etc, so am sure will decide to go the other way and stay schtum if they are being roundly criticised on here for doing something we all wanted in the first place…🤦🏻♂️

Difficult one... He's equally proven useful in the Cup competitions as a senior figure for some of the youngsters out there.
Boyle is good at this level but I don’t think he is what we need. We need another CB comfortable on the ball. We have Inniss and Lavelle which in league 1 you usually need 1 of them in your back 4. And then because of the style we play we need a ball-player next to them and we’ve only got one at the moment so that’s the type of CB we need. For that reason I’m expecting a young PL loan as they are more likely to be better on the ball

I'm not saying I don't agree with your post generally, but did people really moan that Roland told us nothing about transfer targets? Or what players we were actively trying to sell and whether the players had rejected moves?

Wouldn't he have to agree to that? Can't see us paying up the rest of his contract just to shift him out.

Nice post. Like the lengthier and more emotional version of mine 10 minutes ago

Or probably he'll be loaned out and hope some interest comes along for a Jan sale as last chance for some dollar dollar bill y'all.
Don't think it'll be worthwhile playing him if he's here, the match thread last night made it sound like he was just going through the motions.
Did somebody mention a cat? This cat is my granddaughters best friend, picture taken Sunday. The observant amongst you might see that Chloe the cat is indeed a red.
Football is a crazy business and a Chairman/Owner with money to spare will have seen the spectacular goal by Sean Clare against Plymouth, got his scout to do some research on his age, fitness etc and before you know it a bid of a Million pound with a big wage increase and another player joins the list of players who leave at the end of the window for Cafc. That's what might happen but as the person who said play Clare as an attacking RB for the last year I really hope not.
Mason Burstow scored a few goal as a teenager despite being bullied most games and he gets a million pound+ transfer to Chelsea.
The road back to the Championship is getting harder not easier as you lose players by not getting your 1st three choices in as other clubs may pay more, be in a higher division etc. Plus you lose young players or possibly player's like Clare or Dobson who have reinvented their selves in their 20's and are showing their worth as good team players.
Had conversations with Scouts, agents, coaches, players and heads of recruitment and the minefield that is football with its dog eats dog mentality is amazing.
Good luck to Steve Gallen and Martin Sandgaard as you will need it.

I would keep hold of him , we are still in 4 competitions and he can play in various positions - LB , RB and MID , good experience for the academy players as well in things like the Pizza trophy. Injuries and suspensions to Clare , Sess , Dobson, Fraser can easily mount up and think he would be a good asset still at this level even from the bench.
"Throughout the last week we've been trying to strengthen up front and in defence, while also hoping to move on a couple of midfielders, where there are excellent players unlikely to get many minutes.
Thus I am really excited to unveil our new forward Alex Gilbey, and our new defender Jake Forster-Caskey. Both were our number one targets, so I am delighted that we have been able to get them both over the line."

If we can't move him on, I'm OK with him staying *IF* it doesn't prevent the two players coming in.
